Plate No.7 titled '....pour une Consultation, docteur j'en suis; j'vous suis...' or 'for a consultation, doctor I am; I am here ...' from Grandville's 'Voyage pour l'Eternite' 'Journey to Eternity'. The scene shows a man, possibly a doctor, greeting and shaking hands with Death. The pair have removed their hats in greeting each other. Death is wearing a large oversized coat and holding a bicorn hat emblazoned with a skull and crossbones. In the background a funeral carriage awaits the doctor.
